Not sure if this helps you, but the commands I use for my DS4700 to
get info about them are:

If you want to have an id for a hdisk that you can find
on a LPAR, the VIO and the DS4K you could use IEEE_id.
You can find it with odmget on the LPAR and VIO and in the
disk report in Storage Manager.

I still don't see how to find out the ds4800 storage id from aix
commands.
On the server in use is pcm sdd driver.
# pcmpath query device
DEV#: 5 DEVICE NAME: hdisk5 TYPE: 1815 ALGORITHM: Load
Balance
SERIAL: 600B0C6030469E44000006BC46E34694

returns the disks including a big string after "SERIAL:"
Which part of this string is the id of the storage?

I need to understand on a few AIX hosts if the disks that I am seeing
are from the same physical storage, without having access to the
storage itself.
On DS6000/8000 using
datapath query device
I am able to determine that by checking the string under "SERIAL:",
the ID of the storage are all characters without the last 4.
How do I do that when the storage is DS4800 and driver is sddpcm?

The first 16 characters from the pcmpath "SERIAL:" match the first
16 characters from the "Storage Subsystem world-wide identifier (ID)"
on the storage. In your case e.g.:
>> SERIAL: 600B0C6030469E44000006BC46E34694

this is the unique part for your storage.
